Finished in stunning Golden Beige Metallic, this MGC GT underwent a full restoration between 2016 and 2017 by renowned E-Type specialists, Clayton Classics, and is in immaculate condition, having been fully detailed. The car features a balanced, unleaded rebuilt engine, with a new gearbox installed in 2023, and a full Maniflow stainless steel exhaust system. It also sports 72-spoke chrome wire wheels and comes with the original bill of sale from 1968.
 

The car was owned by the same individual until 2011, after which it was acquired by Clayton Classics. They carried out a comprehensive nut-and-bolt rebuild, with photographic records of the process. The engine was fitted with a lightened flywheel, a balanced assembly, and a fast road cam, and a dyno test shows it producing over 150BHP. Following the rebuild, the car was sold and was awarded second place at the MG Car Club Concours in 2017.
 

In 2023, the car was purchased by the previous owner, who then invested over £4,000 further improving the vehicle.

Key upgrades include:
 

• Reconditioned gearbox by Heathrow Transmissions (the original casing had a crack, so it was replaced while the original casing remains with the car)

• New Wasp starter motor (the original motor was still functional, but replaced while the engine was out; the original is included)

• New coil (original coil also retained)

• New points and condenser in the distributor

• New spark plugs and yellow HT leads (the original green leads are included)

• Luggage runners fitted to the boot carpet

• New battery

• New rocker box gasket and exhaust manifold gasket

• Fresh coolant and oils

• Original and new handbooks

• Original sales brochure

The car is finished in Opalescent Golden Sand, a color from the 1966 E-Type range, with a striking red interior piped in cream. It also features a sports exhaust that produces a lovely soundtrack. The engine runs smoothly and is particularly responsive in the 2,500-3,500 RPM range, which translates to a comfortable 60-70 MPH in top gear.
